The defending champions are protecting their crown with a vengeance – they have lost just one game this season and are favourites to win the PSL this season at the time of writing.

It’s a massive game for Islamabad United – win, and they keep their hopes of a playoff spot alive, although it will depend on other results falling in their favour.

The Multan Sultans have sealed the top spot, so I am going to pick the outsider as my premium punt from my Multan Sultans vs Islamabad United betting tips.

Multan Sultans Recent Form

Almost impeccable. The team’s sole defeat to the Lahore Qalandars last Friday spoils what would be a perfect record, and they have been imposing throughout the campaign so far.

Their dominance of the division was driven home by a scintillating dismantling of the Quetta Gladiators on Friday – they hit 245 runs in 20 overs to record the second-highest total in PSL history and another comfortable victory.

Despite their recent form, I am predicting a malaise ahead of a dead-rubber against a team that must win – that’s why I think the Sultans will suffer their second defeat of the season against the IU and is my premium bet of all the Multan Sultans vs Islamabad United predictions I have compiled.

Team News

The Multan Sultans can pick from a clean bill of health – there are no new injury worries for team management,

Player to Watch: Shan Masood

I don’t mean to blow my own trumpet, but in my previous Multan Sultans betting tips prediction, I had Rilee Rossouw to be the player to watch. Those that kept an eye on the South African would have enjoyed a stunning innings in the Sultans’ 245 – it was enough to earn him the Player Of The Match title.

This time, I am backing Shan Masood to shine brightest. The opener hit 58 runs from just 39 balls at a strike rate of 150 against the Gladiators.

The 32-year-old is a decent bet to finish as top run-scorer for the Sultans – I am backing him at odds of 3.75 with Betway.

Multan Sultan’s Likely XI

Shan Masood, Mohammad Rizan, Tim David, Rilee Rossouw, Khushdil Shah, Aamer Azmat, Rumman Raees. Imran Tahir, Blessing Muzarabeni, Shahnawaz Dahani

Islamabad United Recent Form

It has been a chequered few weeks for Islamabad United, but they are still fighting for a top-four spot.

They have been an exhilarating side to watch this season, particularly in the run-scoring stakes, and I can envision them springing a surprise against the league leaders.

Do they have what it takes to win the PSL? Given their recent injury crisis, I cannot see it.

Team News

Due to bubble fatigue, the free-scoring Alex Hales is unavailable after opting to head home.

Other potential absentees include Shadhab Khan, Zeeshan Zameer, and Colin Munro – all of whom have struggled with injuries this season.

Player to Watch: Rahmanullah Gurbaz

The cricketing world is getting very excited about this young man, who alerted everyone to his potential with an explosive innings against Peshawar Zalmi earlier in the week.

The 20-year-old hit 46 runs from just 19 balls at a strike rate of 242.11 in an innings that included three fours and five sixes.

His talent doesn’t just extend to the domestic arena – he is the first-ever player to score an ODI century on debut for Afghanistan. He is a good bet to be IU’s top batsman at 3.55 with Betway.

Islamabad United’s Likely XI

Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Muhammad Akhlaq, Colin Munro, Asif Ali, Azam Khan, Liam Dawson, Faheem Ashraf, Mubasir Khan, Hasan Ali, Mohammad Wasim, Waqas Mahmood

Venue & conditions

The runs have been flowing at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore and I can see that trend continuing here.

The weather is forecast to be dry and hot.

Multan Sultans vs Islamabad United Head To Head

You cannot separate these two in the head-to-head stakes, with each team winning five games apiece since the PSL began.

One team has to edge ahead – I am backing the IU to get the job done.

Recommended Bet: Back Islamabad United to win at 2,34 with Pure Win!

United and the Sultans have both made promising starts to the 2022 PSL. I also expect them both to be strong playoff contenders this year.

I don’t like backing against any cricket team in the sort of form the Sultans are currently enjoying, but I am looking at the larger circumstances to arrive at Islamabad United to win as my premium betting tip.

The Sultans have nothing to play for and it is a must-win match for the IU. Not only that, the latter have been registering some high scores this season, and I am backing their batting unit to bag them the victory they desperately need.

I will place my bet with Pure Win – they are a popular Indian online betting site with some great pre-match markets at great prices. Find out more by reading our Pure Win review here.
